Chapter 14: Escape from Death
Chu Liuyan pushed open the window and looked out, the fire downstairs was already very high, and the window paper was crackling.
Fortunately, she was woken up, and if she delayed a little longer, the fire would come up, and I was afraid that it would soon be reduced to ashes.
"Daddy, I'll carry you away." Chu Liuyan took the sword, picked up his father, and wanted to go downstairs. But when she opened the door and looked at the fire downstairs, she knew that if she wanted to go downstairs, she couldn't.
She caught a glimpse of the window she had just pushed open, and was about to jump out of it.
At this time, the heat wave is rolling in, and it is already very critical.
Chu Liuyan was just about to jump off, and when he saw the situation in front of him, he couldn't help but gasp.
It turned out that the road below the Phoenix Inn, I don't know when it started, was already full of iron files. The iron files were one after the other, about a foot apart from each other. On the top of the iron file, like the head of a red tassel spear, it is sharp and sharp, and if a person falls on this iron file, he will definitely die.
Only then did Chu Liuyan understand that he had been tricked.
Downstairs, Du Ziyue stood arrogantly in a corner and said sharply: "Chu Liuyan, the demon in red, do you think you escaped seamlessly?" As soon as you entered the provincial capital, you were already recognized by my spies. After calling, he flattered an official on the side and said, "My lord, this little lady is the emperor's henchman in red." As long as you kill her, the world will be peaceful. ”
The officer was expressionless and didn't say a word. just looked at Chu Liuyan coldly.
Chu Liuyan knew that today was probably a catastrophe, so it was better to die in the fire than to die in front of those dog officials.
Chu Gaoyuan said on Chu Liuyan's back: "Yan'er, you can run for your life by yourself." You know how to do martial arts, and maybe you can escape. ”
"Daddy, even the Daluo Immortal can't escape. Let's die together, father and daughter. Chu Liuyan smiled sadly and said.
The fire was about to spread, and Chu Gaoyuan, who was choking on smoke and dust, coughed repeatedly. It took him a lot of effort before he said: "Yan'er, if one day, you can see your mother again, you have to help your father tell him that I only have her in my heart, and there is no one else." Listen to me and run for your life. You're too young to die with your father. ”
When Chu Liuyan heard Chu Gaoyuan say this, his heart tightened, and he was about to put Chu Gaoyuan down, but he heard a mutter. Immediately after, Chu Gaoyuan's head hung on Chu Liuyan's back, and his hand slowly fell.
Chu Gaoyuan bit his tongue and committed suicide.
"Dad-" Chu Liuyan's heart was suddenly endlessly empty. She felt a little fear in her heart, a little pain, and more of an endless sorrow that spread.
With a "pop", the door was burned and fell to the ground.
Chu Liuyan couldn't think about it anymore, she only had one belief, that is, to carry her father out, and she would never let her father be buried in the fire and turned into ashes.
She looked up from the window and saw an attic across the street. Chu Liuyan was either about to jump on the iron file on the street, or he was about to perform light skills and jump on top of the attic.
In normal times, it would be impossible for her to leap from this inn to the attic, let alone carry a person on her back now?
But now, she doesn't think about anything. She quickly tore the sheets and twisted them together.
By this time, she was already on fire. She could feel the pain on her hands, face, and body. The fire burned her clothes, and she didn't have time to put it out.
She threw a heavy object on one end of the sheet and threw it on the eaves of the opposite porch to hang it heavily. Then pull the sheets tight and jump through the window.
"Prisoners want to escape, shoot arrows!" As she leaped down, she heard Du Zi shouting angrily.
Then, the arrow flew past her like a flowing flower. There were a few of them, almost on her skin. But it didn't hurt her.
By the time Du Ziyue shouted angrily again, she was already standing in the attic opposite. The other officer was also in a hurry, and ordered his men to surround the attic.
Chu Liuyan quickly extinguished the fire on his body and face. She felt a burning pain in her face.
However, there is no longer so much to care about. She quickly descended the attic and entered a courtyard.
It's the backyard of a big family. This big family is either rich or expensive, and the garden is magnificent, just like a fairyland on earth.
This made Chu Liuyan feel a little more at ease. Since this family has such financial resources, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to come in and search. It would have been much easier for her to escape.
Every step Chu Liuyan took, he felt the pain in his heart. Not long after she walked, she felt that her whole person was in a trance. She forced herself to say: I must not fall, I must not -
#############
When Chu Liuyan woke up, he was lying on a soft embroidered couch.
Thinking about what had happened before, she couldn't help but say, "Where am I?" ”
Then, a girl dressed up in a bun and a maid came over and said in surprise: "Childe, are you awake?" You are in our lady's boudoir, and it was our lady who saved you. ”
"Daddy! Where's my daddy? Chu Liuyan asked a little anxiously.
When the maid heard this, she said, "Childe, you have a dead man on your back and appeared in our back garden, so that you can scare people to death." I said that you came from the wrong way, and I want Miss not to save you. Miss has to save you......"
"Xiaoxiao, why are you so talkative?" A gentle voice sounded, but it was the young lady in the maid's mouth who appeared.
The curtains of the boudoir are hanging on all sides, and the light is a little dim. Chu Liuyan still saw this young lady very clearly. This young lady looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old, with a melon seed face, eyes like green apricots, eyebrows like spring mountains, nose like Qiong Yao, mouth like cherries, and a thin and graceful body.
"Was it Miss who saved me and my father? Thank you, Miss, for saving your life. Chu Liuyan said.
The young lady lowered her eyebrows and said softly, "Where is the childe?" It's just that Childe's father, who was hit by a few arrows in his body, is already a ......"
Chu Liuyan already knew that his father had bitten his tongue and committed suicide in order to let him escape, but when these words came out of the mouths of others, he still felt pain in his heart.
She endured her grief and said, "Thank you, Miss, for saving your life." If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely die to repay it. Now I'm going out to bury my father, and I'd appreciate asking Miss to show me a clear way. ”
Chu Liuyan meant that he wanted to ask the young lady about the exit of her yard. That young lady is smart and lovely, how can I not know. She thought for a while and said, "Someone from outside came to investigate the whereabouts of Gongzi, saying that Gongzi is the red-clothed demon that the emperor wants to kill." The slave family looks at the son's politeness, how can he be a demon? If Childe goes out like this, he will definitely be caught. Why don't you just take my sedan chair out of the house, I'm sure no one dares to check those minions. ”
Chu Liuyan was grateful in his heart, and thanked the young lady repeatedly. The young lady only said lightly: "My name is Xie Cui'e." I don't ask my son to thank me, I just hope that I will ..... in the future In the future, Childe can remember me occasionally. After Xie Cui'e finished saying this, her face was already crimson.
Chu Liuyan didn't think much about it, and immediately said, "I will definitely engrave Miss Xie's life-saving grace." ”
Xie Cui'e instructed Xiaoxiao to send someone to prepare the sedan chair. She pretended to be unintentional and asked, "I don't know the son's surname, can you tell the little girl?" ”
Chu Liuyan didn't want to explain to Xie Cui'e the causes and consequences of her disguise as a man, she pondered for a moment and said, "My name is Xu Da, and my name is Tiande. ”
"Xu Da......" Xie Cui'e was about to say something, Xiaoxiao had already run in and said, "Miss, the sedan chair is ready." ”
"Where's my daddy?" Speaking of his father, Chu Liuyan couldn't help but feel sad.
Xie Cui'e led Chu Liuyan to find her father's corpse, Chu Liuyan held back her grief, carried her father's corpse into the sedan chair, and got into the sedan chair again to say goodbye to Xie Cui'e.
The sedan chariot went out of the city gate and reached the outskirts of the wilderness. Along the way, sure enough, no one checked.
Chu Liuyan carried down her father's corpse and sent the sedan chair man away, thinking that she would never be able to see her father face in the future, and she would never be able to talk to her father again, so she couldn't help but hug her father's corpse and cry bitterly.
After crying for a long time, she heard someone say "huh", "Isn't this Miss Chu?" ”
She looked up and saw four men walking towards her. Those four people are: Zhu Chongba, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Li Shanchang. The person who speaks is Chang Yuchun.
